About Overwatch Mission Critical
Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the national veterans business development council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's purpose.
The Opportunity
We are searching for a Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Coordinator who will own the safety, controls, documentation, and execution of LOTO procedures across live data-center construction and commissioning environments.
This role ensures equipment is safely de-energized, authorization is controlled, permits are coordinated, technicians are protected, and commissioning moves at operational speed without compromising safety.
You will work directly with Commissioning Agents, Start-Up Technicians, OFCI vendors, GC/CM partners, and the Owner’s project leadership.
What You’ll Do
Site Safety & LOTO Program Execution
- Lead and enforce LOTO procedures during commissioning, energization, start-up, and turnover activities.
- Develop, issue, and maintain LOTO permits for electrical, mechanical, and controls systems.
- Validate isolation points, verify energy sources, and ensure zero-energy state before work begins.
- Track, log, and close out LOTO actions in alignment with site-specific standards.
- Coordination With Commissioning Teams
- Align LOTO windows with commissioning scripts, MOPs, energization milestones, and FAT/SAT testing.
- Support Cx leads with safe sequencing of L2–L5 commissioning activities.
- Maintain real-time visibility of which systems are tagged out and who owns them.
Documentation & Controls
- Maintain LOTO logs, sign-in/sign-out control, permit boards, tag control, and audit documentation.
- Develop or refine energy control plans specific to mission-critical equipment.
- Assist with turnover packages, punchlists, and safety reporting.
Stakeholder Management
- Communicate with OFCI vendors, electrical foremen, mechanical foremen, controls techs, and safety managers.
- Support daily brief-outs with commissioning and construction stakeholders.
- Help the Owner maintain compliance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, and site-specific standards.
Required
- Current State Journeyman Electrician License (required).
- 3+ years of experience in electrical construction, industrial electrical work, commissioning, start-up, or electrical safety.
- Hands-on experience implementing and managing Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) programs in construction, industrial, utility, or mission-critical environments.
- Ability to read electrical one-line diagrams, electrical schematics, system isolation drawings, and energization plans.
- Strong understanding of OSHA Lockout/Tagout requirements and NFPA 70E electrical safety practices.
- Excellent communication and coordination skills with multiple contractors, commissioning teams, and OFCI vendors.
- Ability to lead electrical safety activities in a fast-paced commissioning environment.
Preferred
- Data center commissioning or live electrical infrastructure experience.
- OSHA 30 and NFPA 70E training or certification.
- Experience with medium-voltage power distribution systems.

Driver’s License Requirement
For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.
Communication Skills
Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.
Physical Requirements and Work Environment
This position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.
The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no control. Because the project remains under construction, certain areas of the site — including access routes, staging zones, and temporary structures — may not yet be fully ADA-compliant until construction is complete or those third-party areas are finalized.
Physical Requirements
- Must be able to walk, stand, stoop, twist, bend, and climb stairs or ladders for extended periods while navigating uneven, unpaved, or obstructed terrain.
- Must be able to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds on an occasional basis.
- Must be able to drive between job sites and access all areas of an active construction zone, including raised platforms, scaffolding, and confined spaces.
- Must be able to tolerate exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and construction-related noise, vibrations, and odors.
- Must be able to communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, and site personnel, and maintain situational awareness in high-activity environments.
- Personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots, is required.
- Must have sufficient visual acuity to read drawings, specifications, and safety signage, and to observe site activity.
Work Environment
Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, which may include unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. These locations may contain uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other conditions typical of construction projects prior to final completion. Overwatch does not control and cannot modify accessibility conditions within areas, facilities, or temporary structures owned or managed by third parties.
Reasonable Accommodation
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position, provided such accommodations do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility within active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch.
Benefits
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid time off. Relocation assistance is available to support candidates transitioning to the location.
OVERWATCH is committed to creating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. OVERWATCH considers candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.
